me thinks the selling point here is "rare and sought after" love the note on more power, saves on fuel...... cannt believe the price its at at the moment!!!! maybe i should sell mine

"unique colour tickford snorkel. silver wings with red "T". extremly rare as very few have the coloured tickford symbol, most are plain plastic......."

Bucknaked · 19-04-2007, 06:32 AM

Riksta · 19-04-2007, 08:58 AM

Damn, I want one of them but haven't got a spare $150 to go bidding on it at the moment :(

Robe · 19-04-2007, 09:37 AM

It might be heretical to say so, but I just do not like the look of the Tickford logo.

But somebody obviously does. :thebirds:

RG · 19-04-2007, 11:11 AM

Bloody hell I'll have to sell mine, I might make back what I'm spending on the G&D airbox lol.

b2tf · 19-04-2007, 11:26 AM

I have the white and red version - also rare.

swanee · 19-04-2007, 01:44 PM

Why not just go buy one from Ford without the tickford wings (Exactly the same part) For about $40??

yes $40 brand new from ford spare parts? HAHAHA :P

TheSneakiness · 19-04-2007, 01:46 PM

Wonder how much you'd get for one with a hole in it?

Secondary intake on the Tickford snorkel...

Gee, none of us knew that. Thanks. And they're $27 - you got ripped paying $40. Ha, ha, ha.

How would they work with no hole?

Hang on...

Got a balance line drilled into the side of it... so there's the actual opening, plus a smallish hole out the side of it.

Ultra special my one is.

I've never bought one. Many people have bought one off me though. Where do you buy your parts from?

$38.07 Retail.

Different dealers, different prices.

swanee · 19-04-2007, 03:39 PM

Yep... I know. Distributers have a lower price than a wholesaler or retailer.

I just read in another thread that they JC bought his for $27 at trade in 2001. Our last price on the TAUTVE 9A624 A was $34 retail and 29.45 trade in 2006.

I bought one in early 06 for $32.70. Ford are ridiculous when it comes to pricing, should be all uniform.

swanee · 19-04-2007, 04:49 PM

Unfortunately its as inevitable as death and taxes. The price rises that is.

Bucknaked · 19-04-2007, 05:42 PM

I paid about 35 for mine a few years back.

private9 · 19-04-2007, 06:09 PM

Agree with you all 100% - it's a big price for something which does the same job as a $30 XR6T snorkel, but if people are happy to pay me that muc, then I'm happy!!
